[TPIN] Cleaning valves ( with link!)

[Denny Schreffler]

And, as mentioned previously, plain Colgate toothpaste as a lapping
compound, as recommended years ago by the Old Man, Ren Schilke.

  There is also a new product out called 'Magic Valve' that I am
  testing for our store. It is basically a lapping compound for
  valves that is marketed as a cleaning compound. Seems to work
  pretty darn good for me (although I've only tried it once). We
  currently do not carry the product yet, but you can get information
  on it at info at blimusic.com
  This would be a much better way to clean your valves than any steel
  wool.

  Hi John,
  You asked what grade of steel wool to use when cleaning valves. I
  would not recommend using any steel wool at all as it can cause too
  much wear or damage to the valves or casings. If you have some
  nasty sticky stuff or stains on the valves, try a nylon scrub pad,
  clear dish soap, and elbow grease first. If it still won't come
  off, you could use 0000 steel wool very lightly, but make sure to
  clean the valves really well afterward to make sure no steel
  particles go back into the horn (keep other horn parts away from
  the steel wool while you are working with it). Monel stains are
  normally not much of a problem unless they seem to be causing the
  valves to stick.

  All the best,
